A public hearing on how to spend this year’s Community Development Block Grant funds in the Village of Lake Orion is scheduled for Nov. 14 during the regular village council meeting.
The village has been allocated $8,102. LO Village Manager JoAnn Van Tassel suggested giving HAVEN $2,500 and using $5,602 for storm drain projects.
Van Tassel said HAVEN’s allocation was increased from $2,200 because new CDBG regulations require a minimum allocation of $2,500 for any given activity.
CDBG funds have to be spent in the area east of M-24 and north of Shadbolt between M-24 and Washington and north of Flint Street between Washington and the east village limit.
